The impact J.K. Rowling and her Harry Potter series have had on people of all ages is tremendous. The final film is set to be released in the Philippines on July 14, and on July 7, fans flocked to London's Trafalgar Square for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premiere. The event included a touching moment when Rowling herself gave a speech addressed to millions of fans worldwide.
"No story lives unless someone wants to listen. The stories we love best do live in us forever, so whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home," Rowling says, and we couldn't have said it better.
